Serendipitous discovery
Since Xiaoduo's father died unexpectedly, his grandmother moved to the provincial capital. When I left, I was in a hurry and sad, and I didn't leave my contact information for Aunt Zhou, but just gave a key so that Aunt Zhou was free to help clean up. I didn't expect this parting to be almost twenty years.
"Your grandmother asked me to watch this house, and I came over every week to breathe and sweep it, thinking about when you would come back. I didn't expect to see your grandma for the last time. Aunt Zhou said regretfully.
A few years ago, Aunt Zhou went to the provincial capital to play, and she also asked someone to inquire about her grandmother's news. Unexpectedly, when I heard that my grandmother had died, I was sad for a long time.
"When your house was first repaired, it was the only small bungalow in the village, but later the villagers began to follow the engineering team to repair the house and build the hot spring hotel, and slowly everyone built the house, but it seems that your house is inconspicuous." Aunt Zhou helped Xiaoduo open the door while talking to her.
As soon as he opened the door, Xiaoduo seemed to travel back to the nineties. In the middle of the hall is a table of eight immortals, and there are posters of the story of Journey to the West on the wall, which have become yellow and brittle over the years. The room on the left sits an old-fashioned desk, and behind it is a one-man tall mahogany medicine cupboard. The room on the right has a bed and an integrated wardrobe with a vanity mirror. Although there was no one living there, it was cleaned up by Aunt Zhou.
Great-grandfather was no longer there when the house was repaired, but at the insistence of my grandmother, they moved my great-grandfather's desk and medicine cabinet to their new home. It is said that this old furniture is also old, but because it is a log, it looks quiet and simple under the polishing of the years, revealing an antique feeling.
Xiaoduo saw that the house was so clean, and said to Aunt Zhou embarrassedly: "It's really troublesome for you all these years, and you have been helping us take care of the house so well." ”
"Wow, what's this? I'm usually idle, and besides, your grandmother used to treat me as a daughter, so I'll clean up the house for her. I hope you can come back. ”
Aunt Zhou sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a big child." ”
Listening to Xiaoduo's explanation of the situation over the years, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but feel full of distress for this child, and her eyes were red as she spoke.
"It's okay, it's okay! By the way, Xiaoqi, let's get married and have children! ”
Xiao Qi is the son of Aunt Zhou, whose name is Xiao Qi. In the past, Xiaoduo went back to his hometown for winter and summer vacations, and always played with Xiaoqi. So they're also small.
"Hey, don't mention it, I was expecting him to go to the city to find a job after he went to college, so that I could also go to the city to enjoy the blessings. Who knew that as soon as he graduated, he said that it was better to work for himself than to work for others, and went to work in the resort hotel in the town for a few years, and then opened a small hotel by himself, the second one at the intersection of the hot spring area. Let him take you to the hot springs when you have time. ”
"This relationship is good, and now I am also a small boss."
"What's the matter, I don't even have a daughter-in-law until now, I'm almost thirty years old." When Aunt Zhou talked about her son, she was proud and worried.
"It's okay, Xiaoqi is handsome when he is young, I will introduce my best friend to him when I have time, a big beauty!"
"Hahaha, that's a good dare, I believe in your vision." Aunt Zhou wanted to say something, looked at Mimi, hesitated again, and said, "You guys are tired for a day, let's rest first." Wait a minute, I'll bring you something to eat and drink, and you and your children can go to bed after eating. ”
Xiaoduo was moved and didn't know what to say, so he thanked him again and again.
After cleaning up, Xiaoduo walked into the study. Although I haven't lived in it for many years, this room is still filled with a faint scent of Chinese medicine. In the dim light, there was an inexplicable red glow in the medicine cabinet.
There are five rows and six rows in this medicine cabinet, a total of thirty grids, each with a small golden handle. There was also a yellowed label on the medicine cabinet with the name of the medicine handwritten by my great-grandfather, but it was no longer legible.
Touching the labels on the medicine cabinet with her hand, Xiaoduo suddenly felt a tingling pain in her hand, she picked up her fingers and saw that her hand was cut a small hole, and blood flowed out.
She couldn't help but scream, and at this time, Aunt Zhou happened to come in to deliver food to them and saw Xiaoduo.
"Ah, why did I accidentally cut my hand?"
Xiao Duo looked at this medicine cabinet, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. The medicine cabinet was old, so smooth that she couldn't even tell where her fingers had been cut.
Aunt Zhou hurriedly bandaged her. While bandaging, he said: "This medicine cabinet was left by your great-grandfather, there was medicine in it a few years ago, but it was useless for many years, and it rained and moldy, so I cleaned everything inside." ”
"But it's strange to say, I haven't let go of medicine for many years, but this medicine cabinet has always had the smell of medicine, and there have never been snakes, insects, rats and ants in this room."
"Maybe the Chinese medicine pickled the cabinet into the flavor, haha, I'm fine, I'm recovering very quickly."
Aunt Zhou said, "You eat early, rest and sleep." Don't get your finger wet today. ”
Xiaoduo and Mimi suddenly felt very sleepy after eating and cleaning up, so they went to bed early after a simple freshening up.
In the room they couldn't see, the medicine cabinet stood quietly in the dark. Suddenly, a burst of red light came through the cracks in the lattice, and the medicine cabinet began to shake wildly, which lasted for a while before stopping.
Never know where to make a sound.
"The system is merging."
